I get a 404 error. This suggests that I must have the privileges messed up
No. Most probably not a permission problem. What type of farms are you setting up? I assume the rewrite based ones? Most probably your rewrites aren't working as they are supposed, but you haven't really given any info about your setup.
Thanks for trying to help, and I apologize for knowing so little that I don't know what information is needed to solve the problem. But I am installing it on my local computer, not accessible from the Internet, which I think means I have to rely on .htaccess (or apache config file). In the .htaccess file that is in the dokuwiki directory, this section is repeated twice:
# Options added for farm setup by farmer plugin:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^!([^/]+)/(.*) $2?animal=$1 [QSA,DPI]
RewriteRule ^!([^/]+)$ ?animal=$1 [QSA,DPI]
Options +FollowSymLinks
# end of farm configuration
Farther down is:
RewriteEngine on
#[omitted disabled lines]
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/?([^/]+)/(.*) /Users/clmartin/Sites/dokuwiki/$2?animal=$1 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^/?([^/]+)$ /Users/clmartin/Sites/dokuwiki/?animal=$1 [QSA]
Options +FollowSymLinks
The directory structure is:
~/Sites/dokuwiki/
~/Sites/animals/
animal1
animal2
I don't know what other information is needed to show my setup. Thanks for trying to help.
